Use when/as and which. Do not use the words in italics. 1. The piston moves up. At the same time, the exhaust valve opens. This lets the burnt gases escape. 2 The spark plug ignites the fuel. Imunediately afterwards, there is an explosion. This makes the piston move down with great force. 3 The camshalt rotates. Simultaneously, the cam pushes the intake valve downwards, This allows the fuel to enter the cylinder. 4. The piston moves away from the valves. immediately after this, it creates a vacuum in the cylinder, This sucks the fuel in. 5. The piston moves up towards the valves. Soon afterwards, it puts the fuel under high pressure. This helps the gases to expand rapidly after ignition. 6 The cam pushes the exhaust valve down, At the same Cime, the piston moves up towards it. This forces the burnt gases out of the engine. Example: 1 As the piston moves up, the exhaust valve opens, which lets the burnt gases escape. This is a diagram of an internal combustion engine that uses Fecal conries hydrogen as a fuel.

Eco-friendly PLANES of the future ‘Hore are four designs for fulure passenger planes. The aim ofall tho ‘designe is to reduce drag (or fdetion of the wing against the alr). As a resuit, they will al consumo loss ful, and cause less damage to the environment. ‘In Design ‘the rear of the fuselage doesn't taper to a point Instead, i's a cone with curved sides and a flat top (not @ point), shaped Ike a lampshade, Between tho cone and tho engine there Is ea intake port which goes around the whole fuselage ike @ ring. Here a fan sucks in ir and expels I rom the end of the cone, This design makes the sir tiow smaothly across the rear of the fuselage, end reduoes trition, As a result, the plane needs three-fiths loss engine thrust, and the fuel consumption ie cone-fith lower. Design uses diagonal struts {er braces) to supgort the aireratts swings. On each side of the plane, there are diagonal stuts trot the tail and fuselage to the wingtips. These strengthen the wings. As a resuil, wings can, be longer. stronger but much lighter. This means that the wings weigh two- thirds lees than normal wings, which reduces wing dreg, The results that the engine needs 20% loss thrust then today’s plane engines, and the fuel consumption is one quarter less. Design re-uses a technology from the past: propeltors. A et \urbing drives specially-shapad propellers thal make the airflow smoothly and reduce wing drag. Although this type of engine Is slower (wth a top ‘speed of 675 km per hour) and noisier than today's jel engines, it consumes much less ‘uel (almost a third loss). Thi plane will perfarm best on shorter flights of less than 3000 ken, Design ‘combinas the wings and fuselage into a singlo tiangular structure, Three engines are placed al the rear, arid the wingtips are bbent upwards, As a resuit, the drag and engine thrust are over one-tenth lower than in today’s plano, and fusl consumption is a quarter less, One ‘disadvantage ofthis design fs that the fuselage ‘s flat, not eylindeal, and so, iA may not resist ar pressure at high etitudes. But an important advantage ts thatthe plana fs much quieter than today's planes, Sect Neg 3 The designers of the new pianes in 2 worked from the design briet below, Discuss with your partner and choose: the best design (the one closest to the design brief) + the worst design (the one furthest from the design brief) DESIGN BRIEF FOR NEW PASSENGER PLANE 1 The need Environmental issues ace very important day.
